Silba Essentials

Silba is a car-free Adriatic island characterized by its maritime heritage and 19th-century architecture. This selection covers the island’s most significant landmarks, including the hexagonal Toreta tower and the open-air sculpture gallery of Marija Ujević Galetović. On the shoreline, ancient Roman sarcophagi remain visible near the old dock, while the village paths lead to historic captain’s houses and Baroque churches like Our Lady of Mount Carmel. These sites document Silba’s history as a hub for sailors and shipowners during the golden age of sail.
